10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

I have seen the light. –Ryan
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never [...]

Plot to Assassinate Barack Obama

I first endorsed Barack Obama on February 6th with these words:
It takes a lot to remove me from my independent fence.  I don’t normally stump or endorse anyone.  I’m a registered independent and lean to the left, yet find just as much in common politically with the libertarians.
But I’m breaking protocol and am going to [...]

Savagely Stolen News — Alaska NOT for Baked Alaska

Kids, I swear, I’ll be back to my old fluff-posting shenanigans once my life frees up a little bit. –Ryan

Sarah Palin’s home state Anchorage Daily News endorses Barack Obama

Alaska’s largest newspaper has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, saying it would be too risky to put the state’s Republican governor Sarah Palin just [...]

A Black Man Attacked Me Because I Support McCain

By now you’ve read the story. John McCain volunteer, Ashley Todd, lied to police about being mugged and attacked for supporting the republican nominee.
The lie went that a black man approached her at an atm and robbed her.  She then ran to her car that has a McCain bumped sticker.  This enraged the mythical attacker.  [...]

Religulous: A Review of a Review

I was reading reviews of the movie “Religulous” and stumbled across one that appeared on Christianity Today’s website.
During the course of the “review” that writer, Brett McCraken, states Bill Maher, the director Larry Charles and crew are “proficient in the art of “sabotage interview”.  I find this to be odd since in 1 Peter 3:15 [...]

This Sums Up My View of Economics

There are unique moments that only occur to a writer that are humbling.
In the never ending journey to write in a unique perfectly constructed voice while using verbage that both pops and impresses, reading the truth about yourself in some other’s prose is a blow to the ego and moment of personal growth.  Yea, that [...]

Dr Ralph Stanley Endorses Obama

I know, everyone wants me to write about the Colin Powell endorsement.  What is there to say?  Powell articulated reasons to both support Barack Obama and not support John McCain.  He was clear on each point and I have nothing to add.
However, when Dr. Ralph Stanley endorses Barack Obama and even stars in a campaign [...]

Time Out

This weekend I attended a Scottish wedding in the swingstate of Ohio.  Yes, I donned a kilt and all the accessories that were required in my role as a groomsman.  While in the capital of Ohio I hung out with a lot of people over the weekend.  Two of the people in particular are very [...]

What We’re Up Against

I am in Columbus, Ohio, for a wedding, so I will be blogging from the road for the next few days.
One thing that struck me today as I was checking my friend requests on myspace was how extremely desparate republicans are becoming.  I know, that’s not news, but I cannot remember a time when I [...]

Waterboard Obama?

The republicans keep saying they cannot control the “nuts” that show up to McCain and Palin speeches.  Ok, fair enough.  How about controlling your party!
The Sacramento GOP was calling for people to “waterboard Obama” on their website.
I really want to ad about 9830984309 words of pissed-off-ness and insight to this, but this one kinda stands [...]

The Right To Pray DENIED!!!!!!!

OMGZ the government has declared that WE CANNOT PRAY!?!?!
Ok, let me dial down the rhetoric.
Today I stumbled across this article entitled, “Right To Pray Denied to High School Coach By NJ Court”.
Note the comments section after the article.  You would have thought the court struck down the right to pray in the entire community.  What [...]

Laramie, 10 Years Later

I’d love to take credit for this, but I stole it from Newsweek… nothing I could say could match those who lived through it. –Ryan
Has Anything Changed?
The creators of ‘The Laramie Project’, a play about Matthew Shepard, returned to Wyoming on the 10-year anniversary of his death.
By Moisés Kaufman, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti, Stephen Belber [...]

McCain Headlined ACORN Event

The ACORN story is a mess.
No one thinks voter fraud is a good thing- especially a party that has “lost” two elections back-to-back based on voter suppresion and the GOP actually protesting in Florida to STOP COUNTING VOTES!
My understanding of the current issue is this:
1. ACORN hires people to register voters in poor areas
2. Those [...]

Barack Obama on Medical Marijuana

The Philadelphia Crowd is one of the Toughest in All of Sports

Palin gets a firsthand dose.

How out of touch with reality do you have to be to put a polarizing figure in front of a sports crowd in Philadelphia?  Philly fans are THE most demanding in all of American sports.  They are fickle and turn on their own home teams in the [...]

John McCain 2000 versus 2008

I’m not sure what to make of John McCain.  He has Sarah Palin roving around the country making base accusations against Barack Obama including the lie that he “pals” around with terrorists.  There are even ads out trying to link Michelle Obama to terrorists.  But then when a “lady” calls Obama an arab he steps [...]

The First Thing I Ever Had Published

Not many people know that I began my writing life writing poetry.  I loved it.  It was a great outlet for me and really got my creative juices flowing.  Oddly, I think I stopped because it came too easily to me.  Today I found that ABE.com has a page dedicated to selling copies of the [...]

Barack Obama *IS* a Terrorist?

This blog entry is rated NC-17 because of language.
It’s telling that most ringwing nutballs are holing up in their own portion of the blogsphere, totally limp and unable to forumate responses to my posts.  Even the sludge these people used to send my email address is drying up.
Watch this video and see how “regular” republicans [...]

3 Down, 47 To Go

Well, the breeding grounds of those freedom and equality-loving treacherous “liberals” has expanded: Connecticut will overturn its ban on same-sex marriage.
Now, those heathens can profess their love openly and legally, and have the same full-fledged rights under the law.
Watch your white picket fence, Sammy and Sally Republican… for those Homer Sexuals can now commit such [...]

Savagely Stolen News: HOLY BIRTH, BATMAN!!

Sorry if I haven’t been as visible lately, I’ve been swamped with this “Dream Match” between some Filipino guy and some Boy made out of Gold? Anyway, as our economy goes down the tubes and people are still dying in Iraq (not that anyone’s talking about that right now) and our President, the Lord God [...]

Did Sarah Palin Have an Affair with Hubby’s Friend?

Now the press is wondering whether or not the same outlet that broke the affair of John Edwards (and were lauded by the anti-media Republicans for doing so) are claiming Sarah Palin bumped uglies outside of her marriage conventent as well.

Guess Who is NOT The Most Popular Governor?

“Palin gave up her crown as “most popular” in July, overtaken by North Dakota’s Gov. John Hoeven.
A Rasmussen poll on July 30 found 64% of voters rate Palin’s job performance as excellent or good versus 14% who view it as poor. On July 8, Hoeven clocked 72 percent at excellent or good against just 6 [...]

CBS and The Conflicting Airplane Articles

I was visiting the Drudge Report this morning and I found this article where Dean Reynolds compains that Barack Obama’s airplane is cramped and uncomfortable.  Two month’s previous CBS writer Allison O’Keefe describes it differently writing, “The back two sections are traditional coach seats where the Secret Service, reporters, cameramen and some of the communications [...]

The N Word

Advisory.  Please do not read this entry if you are offended by frank explorations of race in America.  This topic, as I cover it, should be considered adult.
I watched a documentary recently called, “The N Word”.  As the name implies it is an exploration of the word that begins with a “n” and ends with [...]
